Nestle? Really?

Excuse the language but, what the fucking fuck?

I remember what was said on that deleted post Scottishmummy, as I wasn't getting pissed as a fart as the night wore on.

Would you still buy Nestle if British children where dying at the rate African ones were? If say 100 British children died as a direct result of contaminated babymilk, that the company knew was contaminated, would you still buy their coffee/Kitkats etc etc because it tastes nicer?

I honestly believe the boycott would be a lot better supported if it was British babies dying.

Bingo!youve rolled out the is you pissed line are you feeling under pressure
Funny how you selectively seem able to understand my posts when suit you
Lol,you understand enough to know you disagree, to respond,to get get up
If it were so incomprehension you'd simply not be involved,but you are
And when it's not going your way your default is to denigrate or namecall

lamb sorry I just wanted to congratulate you on "Found the question mark button I see?"

I know this is a sombre serious thread but that had me roaring.

It is curious that everybody would immediately see how benson and hedges sponsoring would be dumb but how many seem blind to how equally inappropriate Nestle are.

Dzieko Wouldn't make any difference to me - African babies are not worth less than British ones - I choose not to boycott, I would still choose not to, regardless of the nationality of the babies.

scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 17:38

Dzeiko,nhs and royal college midwives don't boycott nestle.doesn't =indifferent to infant deaths
I think you're trying to put an imperialist slant on this that doesn't exist
Caring about health,and infants isn't solely demonstrated by boycotting nestle

Misspixietrix · 09/12/2013 17:38

I didnt know about the Nestle thing from this perspective. Will do some research.

LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout · 09/12/2013 17:49

Explanation - instead of this tedious back and forth between you and I for pages and pages, it could have had a lot more discussion and balanced views from other posters.

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 17:54

Indeed you could refrain from name calling and general rants.Can you do that
Again this is that you simply are intolerant of other opinion you don't like
I'm certainly up for more posts,git my kitkat and San pellegrino to hand

Golddigger · 09/12/2013 18:00

Ignoring all the arguments on here Shock

I dont normally boycott things. Only a few. And I have seen a little bit about Nestle in the past.
But I am considering boycotting Nestle after reading some of this thread. I didnt realise they were as bad as this.

I think a small part of the reason I hadnt done anything before is because of the name Blush. Nestle sounds quite a harmless type of name to me. Hmm.

It's not a thread about boycott nestle,it's thread about nestle being partner agent with nhs
And I don't think a minority should dictate which health providers are appropriate
If one doesn't want nestle as partner,what the alternative

scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 18:07

House!more is you drunk!?its your default under pressure response,attack

Golddigger · 09/12/2013 18:09

It is a sad day if Nestle are the only company in the world that can manage to partner the NHS.

scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 18:09

Floaty,given you had to ask others to tell you about nestle,rather than search yourself
I hardly think you're in a position to post about anyone comprehension
Seeing you couldn't google nestle boycott

scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 18:12

Why?we don't know the ins/out of bid but it must have been top for cost,delivery
Others may well have competed but they weren't selected
What would one suggest,select inferior bid because not nestle

LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout · 09/12/2013 18:14

I would have to say yes. Select the inferior bid as then there would not be the conflict of interest between partners.

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 18:19

Ok,so you'd purposefully chose an inferior bid,what if it costs more.
Whys it ok to impose inferior bid on patients who likely don't share your ideology
How can you justify an inferior health delivery because minority oppose nestle

LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout · 09/12/2013 18:24

Not because the minority oppose Nestlé. Because of the conflict of interest.

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 09/12/2013 18:26

Only conflict in your mind.nhs has been dealing with nestle for years,nhs don't boycott them

Heartbrokenmum73 · 09/12/2013 18:32

Without getting embroiled in the whole argument about boycotting Nestle, I'd like to say the following regarding scottishmummy's posting style:

she always posts in this style. This is how she posts. I've seen and read loads of her posts and this is her style. I think digging at her for her writing style, rather than the content (which I'm having no problem understanding) actually constitutes personal attacks, which are disallowed on MN. I'm not going to report because she's more than holding her own (as she always does!), but I would say to knock it off Lamb because it's doing you no favours tbh. It makes you look rather childish when you keep banging on about the drinking and the remark about the trackie bottoms was very malicious.

As you were.
